Mentioned in the conclusion is the fact the the extra $20 for the EVO is not worth it, I'm just wondering but why not? Is it not the same board with a bit better cooling, power/reset buttons on board and an extra ethernet port? Or is it missing something the Pro has? I only ask cause that doesn't sound to bad for an extra $20.

You actually don't need the extra-cooling on these boards, neither the chipsets nor the MOSFETs get particularly hot even when doing serious overclocking.

The extra LAN port is not something that most people make use of in my experience. It is nice to have as a backup, but not for an extra 10%.

So in my eyes, the $20 premium is really only for the onboard power/reset buttons. *I* love having them, but let's be honest, most people build their system and don't open the case again until it's upgrade time.

SKYMTL, this review is definitely one of the best I ever came across! Thank you very, very much.

I was especially fascinated by the photos in the installation and layout section showing how RAM and CPU cooler interfere. Fantastic!

I wonder, though, if things might improve once the fan would have been installed on the other side of the CPU cooler (mounted in reverse and operated in "pull mode", of course). Or will this decrease the cooler's performance that much?
